No, none of the stores that I know will sell overseas. Even the ones 
that used to have stopped doing this.  I think there are several 
reasons:

  1) Insecurity in speaking/writing english
  2) Concerns over shipping/customs duties
  3) Credit card fraud
  4) The domestic market demand is strong enough not to worry
  5) Handling returns / complaints
